How does one make these work? Apparently there's a 5-second rule for uploading, when the device is first plugged in to USB, it'll remain programmable for 5 seconds, then runs its loaded code otherwise.

Can I use this with FlowCode? It doesn't show up as a com port in project properties, though if I could plug it in just as it checks it might see it?

Otherwise, I suppose that feature could be disabled in hardware (or a firmware/bootloader change, I've read) effectively making it a "trinket".

Any advice on where to start, or is the real answer "Find a PIC cause that's what FlowCode is best at"? :-) Frankly it'd be reasonable advice if that was the answer, one decent controller is as good as another to me at this point.

Thanks!!!!
